Ace Hardware is now using a mobile application (app) to allow customers to apply for an Ace branded credit card, according to MobileCommerceDaily.com.

The Ace Hardware app is available for iPhone devices. “The strategy behind the app lets us provide another channel for customers to apply for the Ace Rewards Visa and lets customers apply securely and privately when and where they want,” Jeff Gooding, director of consumer marketing at Ace Hardware, told the site.

Through the app, customers can learn more about the credit card, and can check interest rates, interest charges, annual percentage rates and fees. The app also includes a “click-to-call” feature that can be used to contact Ace Hardware’s Visa Credit Card department.

Users can apply for a card through the app and will also be notified if they are approved through the mobile technology. The app also allows users to access their account information and access Ace Hardware’s mobile site to learn more about products at nearby Ace stores.
